.world has already become a shithole echo chamber. Good thing lemmy's technology can not really let it take over the platform as a whole like it did with reddit.
I've been liking .zip so far.
I wanted to try out zip but unfortunately I think zip domains are blocked on my network since it fails to connect normally but does work through Tor or a VPN. I also tried connecting to other zip domains (not just the lemmy instance) and I got similar results. Would work on Tor or VPN but not on my main network.
At least I now have an account here though, which is probably good enough for now.
Try using an alternative dns. Some isps DNS servers don't know how to direct a .zip tld
One should always use a self hosted DNS, in my opinion.. you can add the filter you need, and your isp does know a bit less about you 😉
Already use an alternate DNS, though it seems like the zips are completely blocked at the network level. Even with Cloudflare or Google DNS they still don't connect.
I actually do use cloudflare DNS I also did try switching to Google DNS (I know that that would certainly work since they own zips) but it still doesn't connect even when using an alternate DNS.
